for the most part, i agree with the others that you could easily be hypo: you listed a lot of changes and the fact that your husband thinks those changes are significant is important because he knows what is "normal" for you and can notice differences.

i would like to add, though, that in your first few posts here, you sounded really down and out. anything but "extra happy." my concern here is that your mood quality may be low, while your energy etc may be high... i.e. there may be mixed features to this hypomania. please let your pdoc know the bad feelings are there too, even though it is situational, because it is still relevant to any medication tweaks s/he may want to make.

finally, i interpreted one thing in your post differently than how Donna and Beth did, i think. what i understood you to be saying was that, your husband perceived your suspension of your fainting drugs as a symptom of this "shift" rather than a determining cause. Dunno how long you had been on those meds, but i was thinking they may even have contributed to this shift. anyway, please talk to your pdoc about these meds too. your pdoc can probably figure out if they played a role either way - please tell him exactly what you were taking, and also when you stopped, also when the changes started. hopefully your husband can help you narrow down when your mood started to "shift."

please call pdoc ASAP, and take care!!!
